CABINET-SCRAPER HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 717,498, datedDecember 80, 1902.

Application led May 8.1902. Serial No.106,412. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL DEAN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented a new and useful Cabinet-Scraper Holder, of which the followingis a specification.

My invention relates to a device for holding scraper-blades such as arecommonly used by carpenters and cabinet-makers.

The object of myinvention is to provide a holder for scrapers that canbe easily and cheaply manufactured and that can be quickly attached toor detached from a scraper-blade of common construction, also to bestrong and sufficiently rigid for the purpose required of it. I attainthese objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings,in which- Figure l is a plan view of my device; Fig. 2 a side view, andFig. 3 a partial section, of the shank and metal cap looking in thedirection of the arrow l, Fig. 2.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

A is a bent and forked metal shank, one end of which is threaded toreceive the wooden handle B, and the other end is rigidly fastened(preferably cast in one piece) to an axis C, the oval-shaped metal cap Dhaving a lug at each end, said lugs being perforated to receive the endsof the axis C and adapted to' rotate thereon. The fork ends e e of shankA are rounded olf, so as to form cams adapted to press against thescraper-blade F when in position for use. Said blade in turn pressesagainst the two sides of the metal cap D, thereby holding thescraper-blade firmly in position for use.

The dotted lines, Fig. 2, showing scrapingblade F and metal cap D,illustrate position of same when it is desired to remove blade F fromholder. To insert scraping-blade F in holder, place the metal cap D inthe position Vshown by dotted lines, Fig. 2, then pass the blade betweenthe cams e e and the cap D, and then grasp the top of the blade F andmove it in the direction of the arrow 2, Fig. 2, until it strikes theshank A, when it will be held securely ready for use.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is- In ascraper-holder, the combination, with a bent and forked metal shank,threaded at one end to receive a wooden handle, an axis rigidly fastenedto the other end of said shank and cams formed on both fork-points, anovalshaped metal cap having a lug at each end, said lugs perforated toreceive the axis C, and adapted to rotate thereon, a scrapingbladebetween the two cams and the metal cap, substantially as set forth.

SAMUEL DEAN.
